Yup it does!
Thermostat housing
5/16-18 x 1 3/4" for top left bolt
5/16-18 x 1 1/4" for bottom right bolt
Both bolts use split lock washers.
Ok. I just went back and looked to see what I missed. I see 10 bolts with part numbers listed. I don't see whatever it is you are seeing to tell me which is which....lol.
 
This is where I was referring

Ok valve covers here.

And they don’t fit. They are def taller but the baffle hits.

That’s with the baffle plate removed.


Looks like one of the bosses is hitting the poly lock. What to do here? @TOOLOW91 did you do anything to get yours to fit?

Good choice on the covers, hopefully you can get them to work. I know you were debating on the color, but the black and silver work well with everything. Looking good!

Well, reason I went this way is I may change the intake. I like the explorer intake, but for some reason I've really been digging a black '93 CObra setup.

SO down the line after this engine is running, I may swap back to the cobra intake.

I wish I had an answer .
You could try and trim in there but both sets of TW heads with the same Harland sharp rockers all cleared the valve covers On mine with the blue felpro gaskets. I think they actually sit flush even without a gasket too
